🔥 Looking Back at Gold’s Explosive Growth History
The 100-year chart shows that gold doesn’t rise steadily—it surges in waves whenever the global financial system becomes unstable:
1970s (oil shock + inflation) → gold skyrocketed, rising about 20x
1980 (peak inflation) → formed a historic “vertical spike,” followed by a long correction
2008–2011 (global financial crisis + European debt crisis) → broke above $1,000/oz, then pushed to new highs
2020 (COVID) → reached around $2,000/oz
2025–2026 (geopolitical macro factors) → the strongest surge in decades, driving prices above $4,000/oz
According to the IMF, persistently surging gold prices signal that a major financial shift is underway 🥶
🚨🤯Historic Days! Gold at $5,000, Silver at $107 – Is Bitcoin the Next Explosion❓❓
#Bitcoin extended its weekend decline, slipping below the $88,000 level, while gold and silver continued to set new all-time highs.
Ongoing discussions about a potential US government shutdown, widespread street protests, the continued possibility of military action against Iran, and the arrest of senior military officials in China have intensified safe-haven demand, pushing #GOLD and silver sharply higher.
For the first time in history, spot gold surpassed the $5,000 mark and is trading around $5,070 as of Monday morning. Silver, which only crossed $100 on Friday, has surged past $107, setting yet another historic record.
El-Erian: $6,000 This Year
Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian shared his outlook on X, stating that he expects gold to reach $6,000 this year:
"$5,000 has finally been breached. About a year ago, I said I believed gold would reach $5,000 by the end of 2025. We got there with a one-month delay. What's next? Most likely $6,000 in 2026. However, the move higher will be significantly more volatile."
Is $BTC Next?
In previous cycles, strong rallies in gold were often followed by sharp moves in Bitcoin. This time, however, Bitcoin remains relatively quiet. After falling below $90,000 last week, the world's largest cryptocurrency continued its gradual decline over the weekend, slipping toward $87,000 and briefly trading below that level.
Swissblock, a firm known for analyzing Bitcoin's relationship with macro assets, noted in its latest report that Bitcoin could potentially follow gold's rally. As a result, a significant move in Bitcoin may occur in the near term.
However, Swissblock also warned that if gold completes its rally and enters a corrective phase while Bitcoin is rising, this could disrupt the trend and trigger bearish conditions for Bitcoin.
